First of all, a prayer and a candle for all those who lost their lives in this
horrendous attack.
Second, what has happened to the security on flights - the flight marshalls -
the scans that should have picked up the knives and box openers carried by the
terrorists (as known of the flight that crashed into the Pentagon)? This was
preventable and should have been prevented and should be prevented in the
future.
At the very least, this has promoted solidarity from catastrophy. At the very
most, this has snuffed too many innocent lives and very nearly shut down a
nation - airports, bridges, businesses, telecommunication, financial markets,
and it will retaliate over the globe. Sol mentioned how quickly we are in
communication of world events. We are all connected in so many phases of our
lives.
Last of all, a prayer and a candle. And bless Barbara Olsen, a commentator who
died on the flight mentioned above.
